screw those people shipping out during storm warnings. they should be forced to pay every penny of the rescue operation (as a warning to future fishers).
nevertheless I obviously hope they will be found, rescued and will be safe and sound.

If you can afford a fishing boat then surely you can afford a few days off!

What makes you think that? Many fishermen can barely subsist.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Worked on a fishing boat over the America's Cup off Fremantle, Gage Roads, 1983, when the wind blew up sending us to the leeward side of Rottnest Island waiting for the winds to pass - they didn't! The captain said there's no way he can afford to lose his gear (nets) so we're going first thing in the morning to retrieve them. It was fucking awful with multiple instances of almost capsizing - I walked off the boat in Fremantle, got paid, and quit on the spot.
I've known several fisherman, all of them relics of a different era, all of them assholes, and all of them broke!

What if those fishermen were forced out due to debt problems or other obligations? Desperate people do everything to get out of shitty times.
work is for people who cant find truffles
Re: Search for Survivors Underway After Boat Sinks Off Sihanoukville
valid point but ultimately they aren't kids (with regards to responsibility); rescues bear lethal risks and cost money. it's just so unnecessary in this casetruffledog wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 6:36 pm What if those fishermen were forced out due to debt problems or other obligations?

the cost guard in their control and rescue ships are absolute savages (I'm absolutely in awe every time I'm seeing and LISTENING to some YouTube uploads of them maneuvering in heavy waters).Kung-fu Hillbilly wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 6:21 pm Worked on a fishing boat over the America's Cup off Fremantle, Gage Roads, 1983, when the wind blew up sending us to the leeward side of Rottnest Island waiting for the winds to pass - they didn't!
